Thanks guys. I will honour the trout.

Mr. Pimple, I am a beginner fisherman and a little dense. Are you saying I should use bait that look like sucker fish? Or perhaps their eggs?

My trip starts this weekend. I'll mostly be navigating rivers. It was quite warm (30 degrees) starting about a week ago, but is about to cool down into the mid teens in the coming days. What will this do to the fish in the rivers? I imagine the black flies will calm down.. will this change the fishing environment at all?

If I want to keep a caught fish for later in the day, is it best to keep it alive on the stringer or would it be best to kill it instead and then put it on a stringer?

I do it all the time, you just need to use a "spinning bubble"- a float that can be filled with water. As  long as there's sufficient airspace left to allow it to float it'll act as a casting weight
pretty good tutorial here-

Never knew about spinning bubbles, pretty cool! Thanks.
I hate bird's nest, but I guess there won't be an issue with it here. I'll probably get some braid to replace the mono I have as a main line anyway.

Appreciate everyone's opinion.

Anyone think it's a good idea to attach a dry fly lure on a spinning reel?

Hmmm... paddling out to the backcountry on the weekend of the 21st. Never caught brook trout before.

I guess if ice out is late April/early May, there may be several hatches by the time I get there.

Anyone know the best time to catch brook trout in May? Would it be just after ice out, or after black flies have hatched?
